wood borer

A wood borer is a wood-damaging insect, usually a beetle, whose larval stage (woodworm) tunnels through and consumes wood, weakening structures and furniture over time. Signs of an infestation include exit holes on the wood's surface, piles of frass (sawdust-like excrement), and crumbling wood. Treatment often involves direct application of insecticides or borate treatments, but prevention through proper wood sealing and healthy tree care is also crucial. What are Wood Borers? Insects:-Wood borers are a group of insects, mainly types of beetles, known for their destructive wood-boring larvae. Life Cycle:-The larvae are the most destructive stage, hiding inside the wood to feed and create tunnels for several years before developing into adults. Habitat:-They prefer wood with moisture, often infesting cracks in furniture, floorboards, and wooden beams.
